Free-agent quarterback Mark Brunell has reached an agreement in principle to join the Saints this season, league sources said Thursday evening.
The deal will be for two years, but Brunell has not yet signed the paperwork, a league source said.
Brunell, 37, visited with the Saints on Monday night and Tuesday. He'll likely replace veteran backup Jamie Martin on the roster as Drew Brees' understudy.
The Saints also unsuccessfully recruited Trent Green, who signed with the St. Louis Rams, instead. Brunell had been released by the Washington Redskins last week.
He lost his backup position last season to Todd Collins.
Brunell began his career in Green Bay as a backup to Brett Favre. He is a former Pro Bowl quarterback who has thrown for 31,826 yards, 182 touchdowns and 106 interceptions in his 14-year career
